Medication

Today was a quiet day of healing and recovery after surgery. I read, meditated and slept a lot. In keeping with my holistic "joining with" approach to pain, I took minimal pain medication in order to stay connected to my body and its needs. I wanted to respect, love and listen to my body so I only took enough pain medication in order to minimize the pain, not mask it. That way I was more likely to do what was needed to heal. This balance is made more difficult in my case since I am an addict and like drugs too much!
